The troublemaker daughter of the grand duke wants to live alone

rphanage?”

“Yes, but no one knows about the orphanage. People in the neighborhood knew there was an orphanage, but they didnt know the details. The people who had been interacting with the director were gamblers in the village below the mountain, but they didnt know his identity.”

“In any case, that bastard is a gambler.”

“Money is everything.”

“Do you know whos funding the orphanage?”

“I dont think its from Britina, so were looking into the Larvian Empire.”

There was a calm silence on Lucas face, which was always bright.

Estins relaxed expression was also distorted in an instant, and some anger spread on his face.

I must find the director. I have so much to ask him. And Im going to return the pain a thousand times the child suffered.

As I left the Grand Duke Estins office and went back to my room, I agreed to Bonitas suggestion to play outdoors for a while because the weather is nice today.

Bonita looked worried, but I reassured her by waving my arms.

Ive been in the mountains, so whats with playing outside for a while. 

Bonita brought a black and smooth-looking ball and handed it to me, saying that the youngest young master played with it.

It was hard to play with such luxurious toys in the orphanage.

Since there are no toys, you have to play using your body. Its a shame it always ended up in a fight.

When the ball lightly bounced on the ground, the ball went higher than expected.

As expected, expensive toys… 

“Miss! Dont go too far!”

Bonita who is taking care of me, the young lady of Conler family was overly protective 

Well, of course, I cant beat the physique and stamina of the boys in this family, but I was called “the best” at the orphanage.

I was the fire fist at Brandon Orphanage.…. 

I looked at my fist and briefly became nostalgic.

The glory of the past.

Thats why I showed Bonita my fist and told her not to worry, but I couldnt easily shake off her worries because she saw me being brought here unconscious.

Bonita smiled in vain, saying that my fist was too small.

Lucas even said it fits right in his mouth. 

Its not like I dont understand Bonitas worries at all, so I nodded and ran to where the ball rolled.

It rolled a lot more than I thought.

As I drove through the bushes, I could see the ball lying alone.

I tried to go quickly to get the ball, but I couldnt move as if my legs were frozen.

Next to the ball was something similar to a ball but has 4 legs and black fur. 

Dog?

As I turned my gaze slightly upward, I saw a large thing with the shape of a black dog.

Its too big…. To be called a dog. 

It would be taller than most adult men if it stood up.

Should I go back and ask Bonita?

I thought this is a dog being kept at the mansion but I suddenly remembered that Lucas said they dont keep any animals in the mansion. 

Should I inform them about this? 

However, I still cant move my frozen legs and I couldnt take my eyes off the big black dog. 

The big dog also kept staring at me without turning away.

The moment passed slowly.

How long has it been? 

Suddenly, the tail of the giant dog began to go round.

Isnt that a happy expression?

Its like… it seems friendly. Can I come closer?

The ball rolled a little more because it stood up and wagged his tail. 

I dont think thats a dangerous animal.….

My stiff body finally relaxed. I tried to approach the dog

“Miss Mary!”

When I heard Bonitas voice and I looked away for a moment, then the dog disappeared like a lie.

I trudged to the place where the dog stood and picked up the ball.

I was holding the ball and looked at where the dog was, when Bonita ran up to me.

“I told you not to go far!”

“Uh, uh, just.”

I looked back as I was being pulled by Bonita.

For some reason, I thought I shouldnt talk to Bonita about the black dog, so I just closed my mouth and shook my head when Bonita asked why I came all the way here.

What the hell was that?

I cant really explain it but…… it feels strange.
